It is a crowdsourcing project in which volunteers transfer the names, places of birth and other information from historical documents about the victims of National Socialism into digital form.

On the (pre-)Easter days of 1945 - 80 years ago - the Second World War came to an end for the communities of today's Waldeck-Frankenberg district. The war had been associated with death and destruction, hardship and misery. Some history buffs and Jewish descendants from our region would like to commemorate these days with a book.
